Lynx star Olivia Miles made her mark, winning 2026 WNBA Rookie of the Year by unanimous vote after leading No. 1 Minnesota to a 33-11 regular-season record.
Miles is just the sixth unanimous ROY in league history, joining Aliyah Boston, A’ja Wilson, Elena Delle Donne, Tina Charles, and Candace Parker.
“I really owe it to all my vets,” Miles said. “You guys have allowed me to be me since day one, and I seriously am cherishing these moments.”
Miles swept all four regular-season WNBA Rookie of the Month awards en route to her first postseason campaign.
She became the fastest player to reach 500 points and 150 assists, posting a rookie-record six games with 20+ points while shooting at least 50% from the field, 40% from 3-point range, and 90% from the free-throw line.
“I have gone through a lot with my knee injury, just some tough, tough years in college, so this means a lot,” Miles continued.
